Y-CTTY IHX FINS Standing Drops Second To Preps 25-18 Playing In Doyle hall. Loretto, yesterday afternoon, Norb Rancher's Altoona Catholic High var sity dribblers dropped their ec-ond decision of the season to St, Francis college Preps. This time the score was 25-18. The Preps stopped Catholic High in Cathe dral hall two weks ago 35 to 19. St Francis had far trou ble yesterday than In the first encounter as Catholic High wa eith er in the van or trailing by a point or two throughout three quarters of the game.

It wasn't until the last two minutes of the match during which McAleer dropped two baskets from mid-floor that the locals were removed from the picture. Defensive work marked the first half of the game, the two clubs being deadlocked at 6-6 going in to the third period. St Francis boBbed up as leader, was submerged, then went out front This process was repeated until very late in the game. Failure to cash in on free throw chances cost Altoona a lot of points. A dozen of the locals' points were supplied by Captain Jim Wolford forward, who slashed the nets five times from the field.

McAleer, Dunlin and Dugan kept St. Francis out front, or in a deadlock, throughout the battle. Catholic High continues its trav els this week, going to Lock Ha ven Wednesday and to Renovo Thursday.

16 Th western conference faculty athle committee muy, take a hand me university or Wisconsin athletic department troubles, Prof. George Works of the University of Chicago, chairman of th group, Indicated today. Prof. Works snid it was his opinion the Wisconsin board of re gents hud violated a conftu-enc rule which vests control of athletics in the faculty by ordering dismissals yesterday of Ath letic Director Walter E. Meanwell and Football Coach Clarence W.

Spears. He said he would poll th other nine members of his committee tomorrow to determine if investigation of the Wisconsin situation should be made. The regents ousted Meanwell, Spears and drainer William Fallon in spite of a recommendation' from the university athletic, board that the former be retained and Spears be dismissed. In overriding the board's recommendation, Prof. Works said he believed the regents had violated a conference rule which reads: "No coach shall appointed except by university governing bodies on the recommendation of the faculty or president in the regular way." Works held that the rule applies dismissal as well as the appointment of coaches since "the authority to appoint and discharge naturally must be vested Ai the same body." He.

said he gave his opinion to the regents at their Invitation last Friday. Firing Meanwell and Spears In defiance of the athletic board's recommendation probably would esult in ail inquiry by the faculty committee, Prof. Works said he told the regents while giving his interpretations of the rules. The four faculty members of the Wisconsin athlctlo board, Professors Audrew T. Weaver, Robert Aurnor, Gua Bohstedt and Asher Hobson, and the student member, Howard Heun of Richmond, submitted their resignations yesterday in protest against the regents' overriding action.

The two alumni members, Walter Alexan der of Milwaukee, and Walter Heymann of Chicago, retained their places. Prof. Works said he would write for the opinions of his colleagues on whether a meeting should be held to go into i the question of making a formal investigation. McGee's Lose At Silxton McGee's Roaring Spring Big Five received a 39-35 setback at Saxton last week, the Legion team atoning for an earlier loss. Sax-ton came from behind 23-27, at halftime to hold a 35-29 third quarter margin.

The game, played under pro rules, grew rough as it progressed, a fist fight boosting the customers' interest. R. Steele, Saxton guard, held Bob Kearney scoreless in the sec ond half and outpointed him 13-9. Corney Hughes likewise went without a point as Stinson, his rival, garnered 10.

"It (tha letter) hurt me and it turned me against everybody," he said.

"Mr. Rickey had always been fair with me that I couldn't understand why he should write such a letter to me. "Ho blamed me for the losln' the pennant last year, and accused me of laying down on the club and doln' a flock ot other things. I didn't like his attitude one bit and that's why I say that will be surprised If I ain't a holdout soon." And that's that until Diiay opens that envelope, probably tomorrow. Rule Change Team Break Carnegie Tech Boosts Eastern League Lead NEW YORK, Feb.

16 (X) Carnegie Tech, turning back the Georgetown threat, made its place at the head of the Eastern Inter collegiate conference standing more secure over the weekend with a record of five victories in six starts. The Tartans turned back the fast Washington quintet 27 to 23 at Pittsburg Friday. Pittsburg, meanwhile, ousted Temple from second place- by handing the Owls a 48-42 setback ron their own home court Friday night. That sent the Panthers into second by a narrow margin with three victories and two losses against Temple's four and three, The Owls trimmed Penn State 39-33 Tuesday, Georgetown put in a busy week, winning two of three games, but couldn't advance from fifth place. The Hoyas surprised West Virginia 42-36 Tuesday, lost to Carnegie then turned around and handed Penn State a 51 to 44 beating Saturday.

In the Intercollegiate league, Columbia's Lions, the league leaders, were the only team to escape the upset scourge that struck the loop last week. Columbia played only one league game, whipping Pennsylvania 40-33 Wednesday. Then Penn turned around Saturday and belted Dartmouth out of second place with a 36 to- 23 triumph. Yale rallied from its setback and, with Larry Kelley setting a fast pace, trimmed Cornell 43 to 27 Saturday to gain a tie with the big Red team for fourth The standings: Eastern Intercollegiate Conference W.

No other boys' team In Shelby; tic in the an be to ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16 Some where in the network of Uncle Sam's postal system a long en velope from the ottlce of the St Louts Cardinals moved southward today, stuffed with portentious tidings for Jerome Herman Dean. There Is na mystery in tha fact the envelope contains Dizzy's 1936 contract, but the figure Inscribed is known only to the baesball muses and the Cardinal management. Anticipating It Is substantially under the $40,000 at which ha now values his year's services, the Red-bird mound artist, who Is report ed to have drawn $17,500 last season, has sent up a preliminary squawk, echoing the recent holdout threats of Paul Dean, younger of the famous hurling brothers.

All of which means few gray hairs to Vice President Branch Rickey so long as he never ac tually has to pay the $10,000. The Cardinal rlivrniaster' chang ed to a waiting game today and Blocked Punt Gives Kicking PALM SPRINGS, Feb. 16 (P) A "suggestion" to referees that the oft-debated "slow whistle" be eliminated and a change in the blocked punt rule came late today from the national collegiate foot ball rules committee as it ended a diagnostic clinic. The "slow whistle" Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois said lt elimination was the only change the game needed permits a ball-carrier to jerk away, pass or kick after his progress down the field has been momentarily halted. It has been regarded generally a distinct aid to fast-breaking lateral plays.

William Langford, of New Tork, secretary of the committee, said the committee recommended that referees call play complete more quickly than In the past, Ray Morrison, coach at Vander-bilt university where he is an exponent of lateral plays, said the recommendation would not Interfere with his methods. "I'll teach the same kind of football next fall as I did last year," he emphasiied. The rule changed will permit a kicking team to run with a recovered punt blocked behind the line of For the past several years, a blocked punt, recovered by the kicking team, has been ruled dead at the point of recovery. Smith Fourth Among State Cage Scorers STATE COLLEGE, Feb. 16.

Accuracy from the foul line has given Sol Miehoff, of Philadelphia, the scoring lead over his Penn State team mates at the completion of 10 games on the Nittany bas-k- schedule. The former Olney High school star athlete who is a sophomore at Penn State, is playing a fast game at forward on the Lion quintet. In 10 games he has countered 20 times from the free throw line and has the same number of field goals to total 60 points. Other Penn State players are closely' bunched behind Miehoff. Captain Riley is second with 57 counters, while Mike Kornick and Frank Smith, junior guards, follow with 56 and 55, respectively.

Coach Spike Leslie's quintet, playing some of the toughest teams in the east, has succeeded In win-3 half of its games to date. The Lions have dropped four contests to conference opponents Pitt, Temple, West Virginia and Carnegie Tech. The league leading Tartans eked out a two point victory after trailing for most of the encounter. Penn State has had more success vith non-league' opponents, defeating strong teams from Syracuse, Army, Bucknell and' Ithaca, and losing to Navy. The Lions handed Bucknell Its only defeat of the season, while Notre Dame Is the only other quintet to defeat the Orange.

The Penn State team will be considerably handicapped during th remaining seven games on its unless Jack Reichenbach, s-phomore center, is able to return to the lineup. Reichenbach injured his ankle severely against West Virginia. The Blue and White five will play three more games on the home floor Temple, Georgetown and Rutgers. Pittsburg. West Virginia, Carnegie Tech and Georgetown must be faced away from home.

HURT WINS 98 OUT OF 134 TULSA. Okie- (JPh-Vic Hurt, new University of Tulsa football coach, has a record of 93 victories, 30 defeats and six ties since ho started coaching in 1920. He wa assistant to Matty Bell at Southern Methodist last fall and succeeds Elmer (Gloomy Gus) Henderson at Tulsa. OVER THEIR HEADS The University of Nebraska, with its best basketball team in years, literally can "play over the. of most of its opponents.

In Altoona we had Company G. dropping a T7-71 decision to Fifty-Eighth Street Methodist. The regular game ended 61-61, Eldorado's Church leaguers coming through with 16 points in the overtime session while holding ths Guard to a mere nine. Holding hardly the word since both clubs were evidently intent upon running up the score while leaving hostile sharpshooters to shift for them selves, with little or no threat of what the intellectuals might term molestation.

But, down in the Blooms-burg area the other night two schoolboy teams gave what looms as a record demonstration of defensive work. Either that or the boys who took part in the match were downright lousy in their shooting. Shepp-ton High nosed out Nescopek 7 to 3 in a game that required two extra periods. Each team scored five points in the opening quarters. For the next thirty-two and one half minutes neither team scored.

Nor did eithre make an attempt despite the fact that Nescopek had the ball in all but 30 seconds of that period. Good old Nescopek missed a free throw ia the second overtime session. It remained for the. Shepp- ton center to swing the match with a field goal This game, end ing with a score that would make the average football coach feel good, will probably stand as a record for a long-time. The Com pany G-Eldorado fuss will have been forgotten this time next week unless some of the boys file the incident ia the back of the head for use as bedtime story telling material in later life.

That old bugaboo, inaccurate foul shooting, caught up with Altoona High again Friday night at Out-scored in the field, 16 to 14, the Jawns turned seven foul goals into a victory that will shove them into the P. A. A. district fight next month. Seven of 11 foul goal chances were converted by the Tri-County league leaders.

The Altoona average was far lower, the locals sinking four shots while missing five. The shortage meant the difference between a possible crack at the state crown and an ordinary season. But Snaps Emanuel's varsity has traveled a long distance-on its own. Hal Poust the former Jersey Shore athlete whose Montoursviile High football team won Central Pennsylvania's Class B. championship last fall, has been named assistant to Art new Williamsport High coach.

Poust played at end for Lock Haven Teachers. His Montoursviile crew won cine straight last fall. Pursell's other assistant will be Spotts Decker, former physical director at Stevens Junior High of Williams-port succeeds Dave Steumpfle. Decker is a former Mansfield State Teachers boy. Appointment of the above pair kills the report that Pursell would bring his old Phillipsburg, N.

J. assistant to Williamsport. It looks like Lewistown in the Mountain league and Lock Haven in the Central league for post-season playoff positions. Philipsburg haa only an outside chance to overtake Lewistown despite the latter's scant half game lead. Lock Haven's position is far less secure.

Jersey Shore and South Williamsport are only a half game behind the Central leaders. South Williamsport knocked Bellefonte out of the Tuning Friday eight Shamokin, Coal Township and Berwick are still putting on a cip-and-tuck battle for the Keystone league bunting. It looks like Brookville in District 9. Nearer home we have Johnstown and Franklin, with tie former an odds-on favorite. ALTOON A A.

The match will feature the observance of "ladies night" all women being admitted free. Patt's return to the pivot post plugs the one weak spot in the Centre's lineup.

The club is well fortified in all other positions with Adelson, Kuritxky, Merin, Fried man. Wolfberg, and the three Kievan's. Tyrone will have such floor luminaries as Ted Glenn, H. Laughlin, A Pennebaker, L. Fisher, Red Glenn, F.
